Subterranean Disposition is a new doom/death metal band from Australia. It’s the solo project of Terry Vainoras, who is an active member of the Melbourne metal community since 1995. He has also performed and recorded with bands like Order of Chaos, Damaged, Earth, Hellspawn, Cryptal Darkness, The Eternal and Insomnius Dei. His main instruments are Vocals, Guitar, Bass and Keyboards. Let’s see what he has to say for his wonderful new band, Subterranean Disposition.

Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am primarily a metal musician from Melbourne, Australia. I have been recording and performing music since 1993. Subterranean Disposition came to be in 2008 after I left another projectI was in that had a similar style, Insomnius Dei. The songs were written to be the second Insomnius album, and when I left I decided to record them by myself. The name just literally popped into my head one day ! I think it describes the band’s sound quite well. The inspiration for the music was simply take all I had learned from my previous bands and channel it through the loose amalgamated styles of doom, death, sludge and some clean atmospheres.

I have been very fortunate over the years to be able to be apart of some great bands in very different styles of extreme metal, everything from black, death, doom, grind, metallic hardcore and so on… I am humbled to have learned from and shared ideas with many great musicians. There is a comprehensive list of bands at www.terryvainoras.com. For me all this started back in the day at high school when I started to learn guitar and formed my first band, good times!

Like I said earlier I think it is a mix of Doom and Death metal with tinges of other styles, some sludge and post metal influence and perhaps even some hints of jazz and psychedelic  in there too.In the process of writing this material the songs basically opened themselves up to different sounds and I had a lot of fun working with unconventional ways of getting the songs finished.

The Bulk of the album was done solely on my own with two guest contributions, Phoebe Pinnock contributed vocals to “Prolong this agony” and "Wailing my Keen" Darcy Molan added the cool Saxophone to “Most subtle of storms”. Other than that the rest is me.- 

There will be some Live shows in Australia in early 2013 and possibly some shows in Europe too. I have put together a full live backing band and we are rehearsing the songs right now. I am playing guitar and doing all the vocals except the female parts, we will have guest musicians to recreate the female singing and sax parts also.

In the immediate future there is a second Subterranean album that has been demoed and will hopefully be recorded next year. Also I play in another long running band Order of Chaos that will record its new album as well. All that with some live shows for both bands and being a new Dad, things will be very busy !!I am looking forward to it.

Some of my favourite metal bands are Carcass, At the gates, Converge, Cult of Luna, Neurosis. I listen to a lot of different music outside of metal, some of my favourites are Funk- soul, Jazz, Noise, Country, Rock and Movie Soundtracks.
